IMPORTANT: Do not run the pump dry – this will cause damage to the
motor and void the warranty.
FIGURE 1
Used as a Submersible Pump
Submerse the pump completely in your pond to make the pump body
fill with water.
A minimum water level of approx. 6 in. is required for submersible use
in order to prevent the pump from taking in air. (see fig.1)
Place the fountain pump above the mud in the pond to prevent the
filter becoming prematurely clogged.
The pump is designed to accommodate internal threads as well as
external threads through the socket (fountain jets, nozzles, water
height regulators, standpipes, etc.).
Running in conjunction with fountain jets, the pump should be
stationed firmly and horizontally.
The pump can be switched on by simply plugging it in and switched
off by un-plugging it.
The water temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C) and do not let
the pump freeze in the wintertime.
This pump is not intended for use by persons, (including children) with
reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the pump by a person responsible for
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
pump.
FIGURE 2
Proper Care and Maintenance
Always follow the safety instructions. Make sure that the pump is
unplugged.
If the pump is housed in a skimmer make sure the screens and
filters in the skimmer are kept clean and free of debris. This will
allow water to flow unrestricted into the pump chamber. Every
water feature is different; learn how frequently your skimmer
needs to be cleaned to allow unrestricted water flow. Pumps run
dry and damaged due to restricted water flow in a clogged
skimmer are not covered under the terms of the warranty.
If the pump is operated directly in the water feature make sure the
pump intake screen is kept clean and free of debris. Pumps that
run dry and damaged due to restricted water flow are not covered
under the terms of the warranty.
